m_1=2 \\ m_2=3 \\ v_1=4 \\ v_2=1 \\ v\text{ =speed after collision (to be determined)}.

The momentul of the system preserves:

m_1v_1-m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \ \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ \ v=\dfrac{m_1v_1-m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}.

Ok, we found the speed after the collision.
Now, because the impact is plastic, it produces heat, sound energy and who knows what other forms of energy. We denote all this wasted energy with E.

Now, we write the energy conservation law:

\dfrac{m_1v_1^2}{2}+\dfrac{m_2v^2_2}{2}=\dfrac{(m_1+m_2)v^2}{2}+E

From the above equation, you find E,  and then conclude that the sound energy can certainly not be greater than this.

What location on earth that is directly hit by the light during a summer solstice?
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Solstice usually refers to the condition when there occurs the longest duration of day and night and during this time the north pole of the earth is tilted at the farthest distance from the location of the sun. There are two types of the solstice, namely the summer and the winter solstice.

In the case of the northern hemisphere or the upper half of the equator, the summer solstice usually occurs in June 21st and the winter solstice occurs in December 21st.

The locations on earth where the sunlight is directly incident during the time of summer solstice are the regions lying in the tropic of cancer namely, India, Mexico, the southern portion of China and the Bahamas.

If the skater coasts only around 65 degrees of the circle, find the magnitude of his displacement vector.
baherus [9]
We are given a skater who coasts only around 65 degrees of the circle. The magnitude of the vector is determined by converting 65 degrees to radians:

65//180 = 0.36 radians

The displacement of the vector is 65 degrees east.

A sphere has surface area 1.25 m2, emissivity 1.0, and temperature 100.0°C. What is the rate at which it radiates heat into empt
Yuri [45]
The total power emitted by an object via radiation is:
P=A\epsilon \sigma T^4
where:
A is the surface of the object (in our problem, A=1.25 m^2
\epsilon is the emissivity of the object (in our problem, \epsilon=1)
\sigma = 5.67 \cdot 10^{-8} W/(m^2 K^4) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant
T is the absolute temperature of the object, which in our case is T=100^{\circ} C=373 K

Substituting these values, we find the power emitted by radiation:
P=(1.25 m^2)(1.0)(5.67 \cdot 10^{-8}W/(m^2K^4)})(373 K)^4=1371 W = 1.4 kW
So, the correct answer is D.
